ABSTRACT |
Field isolates of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) have been
shown to use the RGD-dependent integrin
v
3 as a cellular receptor
on cultured cells. However, several other RGD-dependent integrins may
have the potential to act as receptors for FMDV in vivo. Of these,
v
6 is a likely candidate for use as a receptor by FMDV as it is
expressed on epithelial cells, which correlates with the tissue tropism
of the virus. In this report, we show that human colon carcinoma cells
(SW480) that are normally nonpermissive for FMDV become susceptible to
infection as a result of transfection with the integrin
6 subunit
and expression of
v
6 at the cell surface. Integrin
v
6 is
the major site for virus attachment on the
6-transfected cells, and
binding to
v
6 serves to increase the rate of virus entry into
these cells. In addition, we show that virus binding and infection of
the
6-transfected cells is mediated through an RGD-dependent
interaction that is specifically inhibited by a monoclonal antibody
(10D5) that recognizes
v
6. These studies establish a role for
v
6 as a cellular receptor for FMDV.

INTRODUCTION |
The seven serotypes of
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) (types O, A, C, Asia-1,
and the South African Territories [SAT] types 1, 2, and 3) are
members of the Aphthovirus genus of the family
Picornaviridae. Picornaviruses are small, nonenveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses which cause many important diseases of humans and animals (5). The virus capsid is made up of 60 copies each of four virus-encoded proteins, VP1 to VP4. Crystal structures of viruses representative of several FMDV serotypes have been determined, and a major feature of the outer capsid surface
is a long, conformationally flexible loop (1, 14, 18, 27, 28,
29). This loop, the GH loop of VP1, includes at its apex a highly
conserved arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) tripeptide motif.
FMDV is the causative agent of foot-and-mouth disease, an economically
important and highly contagious disease of many domestic livestock,
such as pigs, sheep, goats, and cattle. The primary route of infection
by FMDV is through the upper respiratory tract. The predilection sites
for initial virus replication are thought to be epithelial cells of the
oropharynx and associated lymphoid tissues (11, 12, 13, 45).
During the development of disease, virus is widely disseminated
throughout the body, with secondary sites of replication in many
epithelial tissues (13).
Two families of cellular receptors have been identified that mediate
infection of FMDV, heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) and integrins.
Several viruses that have been adapted for growth in cultured cell
lines acquire a high affinity for heparan sulfate and, as a
consequence, use HSPG as receptors for both attachment and subsequent
internalization without the mediation of integrins (25, 37,
44). By contrast, field isolates of FMDV use RGD-dependent integrins as receptors through an interaction mediated by the RGD motif
of the VP1 GH loop (24, 30, 31, 37, 44).
Integrins are a family of cell surface,
-
heterodimeric
glycoproteins composed of at least 15
and 8
subunits which
associate to form over 20 different
-
combinations (23,
47). Each subunit is composed of large extracellular domains, a
transmembrane region, and, in most cases, a short cytoplasmic domain.
Integrins contribute to a variety of processes, including adhesion
between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix and
induction of signal transduction pathways that modulate various
processes, including cell proliferation, morphology, migration, and
apoptosis (16, 23, 34, 39, 47). Several integrins, including
v
1,
v
3,
v
5,
v
6,
v
8,
5
1, and
8
1 (23, 38, 46, 47), bind their ligands by recognition
of an RGD motif. To date, the vitronectin receptor
v
3 is the only
RGD-dependent integrin that has been shown to act as a receptor for
FMDV (6); however, this integrin may not have a major role
during the initial infection of an animal, since it is not normally
expressed in epithelial cells and has limited expression in lymphoid
cells (15, 33). However, several other RGD-dependent
integrins, including
5
1,
v
5, and
v
6, are expressed on
these cell types (15, 33, 47).
The integrin
6 subunit forms only a single heterodimer,
v
6,
which has been shown to be a receptor for the extracellular matrix
proteins fibronectin (48), tenascin (43, 49), and vitronectin (22) and for latency-associated protein 1 (LAP-1), a protein involved in modulation of the activity of
transforming growth factor
1 (36). Expression of
v
6
is restricted to epithelial cells and has been observed at a variety of
sites, including the epithelia of the uterus, bladder, respiratory
tract, and salivary gland (10). Expression levels are
moderate or low in normal healthy adult epithelia but are rapidly up
regulated at sites of tissue injury and inflammation (9,
21). In addition, inactivation of the
6 subunit in mice has
identified a role for
v
6 in down regulation of inflammation in
skin and the respiratory tract (21).
v
6 also plays an
important role in keratinocyte migration (22) and is
expressed at the leading edges of healing cutaneous wounds (9,
19).
v
6 has been shown to confer upon cells a growth advantage, an effect dependent on an 11-amino-acid COOH-terminal extension that is unique to the
6 subunit (2).
Recently, the pentapeptide DLXXL has been reported to be a ligand for
v
6 in the absence of an RGD motif (26). This peptide shares sequence similarity with the region flanking the RGD motif (RGDLXXI) found in LAP-1, a recently identified high-affinity ligand
for
v
6 (36). Across the FMDV serotypes, a leucine is most commonly found as the residue immediately following the RGD motif
(31), and virtually all virus isolates have a leucine residue in the RGD+4 position. Given the similarity between the residues flanking the RGD motifs of FMDV and LAP-1, we reasoned that
v
6 could act as a receptor for FMDV. In this report, we show that
cells that are normally nonpermissive for FMDV become susceptible to
infection after transfection with the integrin
6 subunit and
expression of
v
6 at the cell surface. Evidence is also presented
which shows that on the
6-transfected cells,
v
6 functions as
the major receptor for virus attachment and that the integrin serves to
increase the rate of virus entry into the cell.

MATERIALS AND METHODS |
Cells and viruses.
BHK cells were cultured in Dulbecco's
modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum, 20 mM
glutamine, penicillin (100 SI units/ml), and streptomycin (100 µg/ml). The human colon carcinoma cell line SW480 transfected to
express the full-length human
6 integrin subunit and
mock-transfected cells (48) were cultivated in Dulbecco's
modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 20 mM
glutamine, penicillin (100 SI units/ml), streptomycin (100 µg/ml),
and 1 mg of geneticin (Life Technologies)/ml. The viruses used in this
study were the FMDV strains O1K-cad2, C-S8c1, and SAT-3 Zim 4/81
(SAT-3). These viruses were selected for this study because they do not
appear to bind heparin (references 4 and
18 and unpublished observation). O1K-cad2 was used
for binding studies, as this virus is readily purified to homogeneity
and is recognized by a panel of available monoclonal antibodies (MAbs).
However, the virus replicates relatively poorly in cultured cells,
resulting in virus titers of ~105 PFU/ml. Therefore, for
infectivity studies we used the C-S8c1 and SAT-3 strains, as these
viruses replicate well in BHK cells, resulting in virus titers of
~107 to 108 PFU/ml. Virus stocks were
prepared and virus titers were determined using BHK cells. In all
assays, the multiplicity of infection (MOI) was based on the virus
titer on BHK cells. Virus purification on sucrose gradients was done as
described previously (14).
Antibodies and peptides.
The RGD peptide with its sequence
derived from the GH loop of VP1 of type O FMDV
(142-VPNLRGDLQVLA-153) and the control RGE version were
synthesized at the peptide synthesis facility at the Oxford Centre for
Molecular Science, New Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford, United Kingdom.
The anti-integrin antibodies used in these studies were LM609 and 23C6
(anti-
v
3), 25E11 (anti-
3), P1F6 (mouse immunoglobulin G1
[IgG1]; anti-
v
5), and 10D5 (mouse IgG2a; anti-
v
6), all
from Chemicon, and SAM-1 (mouse IgG2b; anti-
5
1) from Serotec. The
anti-FMDV MAbs, B2 (mouse IgG1) and D9 (mouse IgG2A), which recognize
antigenic site 1 of type O FMDV (32), were purified using
protein A (Pierce) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Infectivity assays. (i) Infection conditions.
Cells (mock or
6 transfected) were seeded at 2.5 × 105 per well
in 24-well plates or 1 × 106 per 35-mm-diameter dish
16 h prior to infection. The monolayers were washed with assay
buffer (phosphate-buffered saline [PBS; pH 7.5] containing 2 mM
CaCl2 and 1 mM MgCl2), and viruses, diluted in
the same buffer, were added to the cells under the conditions indicated
in the figure legends.
(ii) Growth curves.
Cells in 35-mm-diameter dishes were
infected for 1 h at 37°C. Infectious virus that remained on the
outsides of the cells was inactivated by incubating the cells with 0.1 M citric acid buffer (pH 5.2) in 140 mM NaCl for 1 to 2 min. The cells
were then washed with assay buffer and cultivated in 2 ml of cell
growth medium for 24 h. At various times, the cell culture medium
was assayed for the presence of virus by standard plaque assay on BHK
cells. Briefly, 100 µl of each virus dilution was layered onto BHK
cells for 15 min at 37°C. The monolayers were then overlaid with 4 ml
of molten Eagle's overlay (Eagle's medium supplemented with 0.6%
indubiose, 5% tryptone phosphate broth, 1% fetal calf serum, 100 SI
Units of penicillin/ml, and 100 µg of streptomycin/ml). The cells
were then incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 40 to 48 h. Plaques were visualized by staining the cell monolayer with methylene blue-4% formaldehyde in PBS.
(iii) Infectious-center assay.
Target cell monolayers in
35-mm-diameter dishes were infected at the temperature and MOI
indicated on the figures. At the indicated time points, infectious
virus that remained on the outsides of the cells was inactivated by
acid treatment as described above. The cells were then rinsed three
times with assay buffer, removed from the wells by using trypsin,
collected by centrifugation, and resuspended in 300 µl of assay
buffer supplemented with 0.5% fetal calf serum. The cells were
counted, and dilutions of cells (100 µl), prepared in the same
buffer, were mixed with 1 ml of molten Eagle's overlay and layered
onto subconfluent monolayers of BHK cells prepared in 60-mm-diameter
dishes. When the medium had solidified a further 3 ml of Eagle's
overlay was layered onto each dish. Cells were incubated at 37°C and
5% CO2 for 40 to 48 h. Infectious centers were
visualized as plaques by fixing and staining them as described above.
Where peptides or anti-integrin antibodies were used to block
infection, these reagents were added to the target cell monolayers at
room temperature for 15 to 30 min prior to the addition of virus for a
further 15 min at 37°C.
Flow cytometry analysis. (i) Standard assay.
Cells were
harvested using EDTA (cell dissociation solution; Sigma), washed, and
resuspended at 2 × 107 cells per ml in a solution of
PBS (pH 7.5), 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 2% horse
serum, 3% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% sodium azide (buffer A).
Cells (30 µl) were incubated with primary antibodies (10 µg/ml in
buffer A) on ice for 20 min. The cells were then washed three times
with buffer A and incubated on ice for 20 min with secondary antibodies
conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (Southern Biotechnology Associates).
The cells were then washed three times with buffer A and once with a
solution of PBS (pH 7.5), 2 mM CaCl2, and 1 mM
MgCl2 and resuspended in the same buffer containing 1% paraformaldehyde. Fluorescent staining was analyzed by flow cytometry using a FACSCalibur (Becton Dickinson) counting 10,000 cells per sample.
(ii) Virus binding assay.
Cells were prepared in buffer A as
described above and incubated with O1K-cad2 (10 µg/ml) for 30 min on
ice. The cells were then washed twice with buffer A and incubated
sequentially with anti-type O MAb D9 (10 µg/ml), followed by a goat
anti-mouse IgG2a-specific R-phycoerythrin conjugate.
(iii) Competition experiments.
In experiments where FMDV was
used to block binding of integrin-specific antibodies, virus was
incubated with the cells on ice for 30 min before the addition of the
anti-integrin antibodies for a further 30 min. The cells were then
washed three times with buffer A, followed by incubation with a goat
anti-mouse IgG R-phycoerythrin conjugate. For experiments where
integrin-specific antibodies or RGD peptides were used to block binding
of FMDV, the antibodies and peptides were added to the cells for 30 min
on ice before the addition of virus for a further 30 min. The cells
were then washed three times with buffer A, and cell-bound virus was
detected with an anti-type O FMDV MAb. When 10D5 (IgG2a) was used as a competitor, virus was detected with the MAb B2 (IgG1). When P1F6 (IgG1)
was used as a competitor, virus was detected with the MAb D9 (IgG2a).
Anti-FMDV antibodies were detected with goat anti-mouse IgG
isotype-specific R-phycoerythrin conjugates.

RESULTS |
To determine whether expression of the integrin
v
6 enhanced
infection by FMDV, we compared SW480 cells that had been stably transfected to express the full-length human
6 subunit
(
6-transfected) with cells transfected with the expression plasmid
alone (mock transfected) (48). SW480 cells normally express
5
1 and
v
5 as their only RGD-binding integrins but do not
express the
6 subunit (48). However, when transfected
with
6 cDNA, the
v subunit also has the opportunity of pairing
with
6 so that they express
v
6 at the cell surface as a
functional heterodimer (36, 48). Initially, we confirmed by
flow cytometry the integrin expression profiles for the RGD-binding
integrins on the mock- and
6-transfected cells and that the
6-transfected cells express
v
6 (data not shown). In addition,
using three MAbs, LM609 and 23C6, which recognize
v
3, and 25E11,
which binds the
3 subunit, we confirmed that both the mock- and
6-transfected cells were negative for expression of
v
3. The
viruses used in these studies were FMDV strains, C-S8c1 and SAT-3.
These viruses were selected because they are believed to depend
completely on RGD-binding integrins for cellular internalization and to
be unable to use HSPG as alternative receptors (reference
4 and unpublished observations). Figure
1 shows that extensive cytopathic effect was observed upon infection of the
6-transfected cells with FMDV, whereas the mock-transfected cells appeared resistant to infection even
after a prolonged exposure to virus. Consistent with this observation,
Fig. 2 shows that infection of the
6-transfected cells by FMDV results in the production of infectious
virus whereas under the same assay conditions only a low level of virus
is produced by the mock-transfected cells. The susceptibility of the
mock-transfected cells to infection, although low, was greater for
C-S8c1 than for SAT-3, as measured by both virus yield (Fig. 2) and the
number of infectious centers (Table 1).
The reason for this small difference was not investigated, but it is
likely to be due to infection by an integrin-independent mechanism,
most likely involving HSPG, as propagation of C-S8c1 in BHK cells has
been shown to result in a virus population that binds heparin
(4). To confirm that the reduction in virus yield produced
by the mock-transfected cells was not due to an inability of these
cells to support virus replication, we infected the mock- and
6-transfected cells with the O1BFS strain of FMDV. O1BFS binds to
heparan sulfate and uses HSPG as alternative receptors for cell entry
without the mediation of functional integrins (18, 25). The
virus yields obtained using this virus were comparable for the mock-
and
6-expressing cells (~2 × 106 PFU/ml),
indicating that the failure of the mock-transfected cells to support
infection was not due to a general intracellular defect in virus
replication (data not shown).

Comparison of FMDV production by mock-transfected and
6-transfected SW480 cells. Mock-transfected (dashed lines) and
6-transfected (solid lines) cells in 35-mm-diameter dishes were
infected with FMDV strain C-S8c1 or SAT-3 at MOIs of 2 and 10 PFU/cell,
respectively, for 1 h at 37°C. Infectious virus that remained on
the outsides of the cells was inactivated with acid, and the cells were
cultivated in cell growth medium. The appearance of infectious virus in
the cell culture medium (PFU/ml) was analyzed with time (hours
postinfection) by plaque assay on BHK cells. The error bars indicate
standard deviations.
|
|
In order to quantitate the difference in the susceptibilities of the
mock- and
6-transfected cells to FMDV, we compared the number of
productive infectious events occurring on infection using an
infectious-center assay (Table 1). When the target cells (mock or
6
transfected) were infected at 4°C to limit virus entry, virtually no
infectious centers were observed for either cell line, indicating that
inactivation of the virus that remained on the outsides of the cells
following infection had been effective (see Materials and Methods).
However, when the infection was allowed to proceed under conditions
that permit virus entry (37°C), the
6-transfected cells were found
to be more susceptible to infection than the mock-transfected cells by
2 to 3 orders of magnitude (Table 1). Taken together, the above data
show that expression of
v
6 at the cell surface correlates with a
lytic infection of SW480 cells by FMDV and that the integrin is acting
to increase the rate at which the virus enters the cell.
To investigate further the role of
v
6 in infection, we analyzed
the ability of FMDV to bind to the mock- and
6-transfected cells by
flow cytometry. Figure 3 shows that
binding of FMDV to the mock-transfected cells could not be detected,
whereas virus binding to the
6-transfected cells was clearly
evident. These data indicate that the failure of the mock-transfected
cells to support infection by FMDV is due, at least in part, to the
inability of these cells to support virus binding.

FIG. 3.
Flow cytometric analysis of FMDV binding to
mock-transfected and 6-transfected SW480 cells. FMDV strain O1K-cad2
(10 µg/ml) was bound to mock-transfected (A) and 6-transfected (B)
cells, and the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using the
anti-FMDV antibody D9 (10 µg/ml) and a goat anti-mouse IgG2a-specific
R-phycoerythrin conjugate as the secondary antibody (solid histogram).
The open histogram (negative control) shows the cells incubated with
the secondary antibody in the absence of both the virus and D9.
Additional negative controls where only the virus or MAb D9 was omitted
from the assay gave results nearly identical to those with the control
shown and, for clarity, are not shown.
|
|
As the
6-transfected cells express several different RGD-dependent
integrins, we next used FMDV as a competitor in experiments designed to
inhibit the binding of MAbs that recognize specific integrin
heterodimers. All of the MAbs used for this study are functional
blocking antibodies, i.e., they block binding of the natural ligands to
their integrin receptors. We reasoned that if a large multivalent
ligand, such as FMDV, bound to the RGD-binding site on the integrin,
then the virus would be expected to block binding of the MAbs. Figure
4 shows that preincubation of the
6-transfected cells with O1K-cad2, a non-heparin binding strain of
FMDV, inhibited binding of MAb 10D5 (anti-
v
6), whereas under identical conditions, O1K-cad2 failed to inhibit binding of the MAbs
P1F6 and SAM-1, which recognize
v
5 and
5
1, respectively. The same result was obtained when the SAT-3 virus was used as the
competitor (data not shown). The above data imply that FMDV is binding
to
v
6 on the
6-transfected cells and not to the other
RGD-dependent integrin expressed on these cells. That virus was binding
to
v
6 was confirmed by reciprocal experiments where anti-integrin
antibodies were used to block binding of virus to the
6-transfected
cells. Consistent with the data shown in Fig. 4, MAb 10D5 was found to
inhibit virus binding to the
6-transfected cells by >90%, implying
that
v
6 serves as the major receptor for virus attachment on
these cells (Fig. 5). Under identical conditions, P1F6 (anti-
v
5) had no effect on virus binding.

FMDV inhibits binding of MAb 10D5 (anti- v 6) to
6-transfected SW480 cells. 6-transfected cells in duplicate wells
were incubated with FMDV O1K-cad2 prior to the addition of
anti-integrin antibodies (final concentration, 5 µg/ml). The
antibodies used were the functional blocking MAbs P1F6 (anti- v 5),
10D5 (anti- v 6), and SAM-1 (anti- 5 1). The cells were
analyzed for anti-integrin antibodies by flow cytometry using a goat
anti-mouse IgG R-phycoerythrin conjugate. For each of the antibodies,
100% binding was the fluorescence determined in the absence of virus.
Background fluorescence (mean fluorescence intensity, 2.5) was
determined by incubating the cells in the presence of the secondary
antibody alone. One experiment representative of two is shown.

Anti- v 6 MAb 10D5 inhibits binding of FMDV to
6-transfected SW480 cells. 6-transfected cells in triplicate
wells were incubated with the antibody P1F6 (anti- v 5) or 10D5
(anti- v 6) prior to the addition of virus (O1K-cad2; 10 µg/ml),
and the cells were analyzed for bound virus by flow cytometry. When
10D5 (mouse IgG2a) was used as a competitor, virus was detected with
the anti-FMDV MAb B2 (mouse IgG1; 10 µg/ml). When P1F6 (mouse IgG1)
was used as a competitor, virus was detected with the anti-FMDV MAb D9
(mouse IgG2a; 10 µg/ml). Anti-FMDV antibodies were detected using
goat anti-mouse IgG isotype-specific R-phycoerythrin-conjugated
secondary antibodies. Background fluorescence was determined by
incubating the cells in the presence of the secondary antibodies alone
and was subtracted from the data. One experiment representative of two
is shown. The error bars indicate standard deviations.

To verify that the virus was binding to
v
6 through an
RGD-dependent interaction, we next sought to inhibit virus binding to
v
6 on the
6-transfected cells using an RGD-containing peptide with its sequence derived from the GH loop of type O FMDV. Figure 6 shows that FMDV binding to
v
6 is
inhibited by >95% by the RGD peptide, demonstrating that the virus
does indeed bind to
v
6 through an RGD-mediated interaction.
Inhibition was specific, as the control RGE version of the peptide had
a minimal effect on virus binding at the highest concentration used.

Binding of FMDV to 6-transfected SW480 cells is
specifically inhibited by an RGD peptide. 6-transfected cells in
triplicate wells were incubated with the peptide
VPNLRGDLQVLA or VPNLRGELQVLA (RGE) prior to the addition of
O1K-cad2 (10 µg/ml). Cell-bound virus was detected by flow cytometry
using the anti-FMDV antibody D9 (10 µg/ml) and a goat anti-mouse
IgG2a-specific R-phycoerythrin-conjugated secondary antibody.
Background fluorescence was determined by incubating the cells in the
presence of the secondary antibody alone and was subtracted from the
data. One experiment representative of two is shown. The error bars

The above data show that FMDV binds to
v
6 on the surfaces of
6-transfected SW480 cells and that this interaction can be specifically inhibited by an RGD-containing peptide and the
anti-
v
6 MAb, 10D5. Figures 7 and
8 show that the inhibitory effects of these reagents on virus binding correlate with the ability to inhibit
infection. Thus, the RGD peptide was found to specifically inhibit
infection of the
6-transfected cells by FMDV (Fig. 7). Similarly,
Fig. 8A shows that infection of the
6-transfected cells by FMDV
C-S8c1 is inhibited by MAb 10D5. Inhibition by 10D5 was found to be
concentration dependent, with 50% inhibition seen at an antibody
concentration of ~5 µg/ml. The same result was obtained when SAT-3
was used as the infecting virus. Figure 8B shows that the inhibitory
effect of MAb 10D5 was specific, as under the conditions where 10D5
inhibited infection by >99%, antibodies to
5
1 and
v
5 had
no effect on infection.

buffer) or with assay buffer alone (control) prior to infection by FMDV
C-S8c1 or SAT-3 at an MOI of ~0.2 PFU/cell. The infected cells were
used in an infectious-center assay. The number of infectious centers
(mean ± standard deviation) is shown as a percentage of the
control. One experiment representative of two is shown.

FIG. 8.
Infection of 6-transfected SW480 cells is
specifically inhibited by the MAb 10D5 (anti- v 6). (A) Duplicate
monolayers of 6-transfected cells in 35-mm-diameter dishes were
incubated with 100 (a), 10 (b), or 1 (c) µg of 10D5/ml diluted in PBS
(pH 7.5)-2 mM CaCl2-1 mM MgCl2 (assay buffer)
or with assay buffer alone (d) before the addition of virus (C-S8c1;
MOI, ~0.2 PFU/cell), and the infected cells were used in an
infectious-center assay. The infectious centers for one cell dilution
are shown. Other cell dilutions used to quantitate the percent
inhibition for each concentration of 10D5 are not shown. (B) Triplicate
monolayers of 6-transfected cells in 35-mm-diameter dishes were
incubated with 200 µl (50 µg/ml) of the functional blocking MAbs
P1F6 (anti- v 5), 10D5 (anti- v 6), and SAM-1 (anti- 5 1)
in assay buffer or with assay buffer alone (control) prior to infection
by FMDV C-S8c1 (MOI, ~0.2 PFU/cell), and the infected cells were used
in an infectious-center assay. The number of infectious centers is
shown as a percentage of the control. The data show the mean (± standard deviation) of three separate experiments.

DISCUSSION |
Field isolates of FMDV are believed to use RGD-dependent integrins
as cellular receptors for virus internalization in vivo (37). In this study, we show that the RGD-dependent integrin
v
6 functions as a cellular receptor for FMDV. The main evidence in support of this finding is (i) SW480 cells, which are normally nonpermissive for FMDV, become susceptible to infection upon
transfection with the integrin
6 subunit and expression of
v
6
at the cell surface as a result of an increased rate of virus entry;
(ii)
v
6 serves as the major receptor for attachment of FMDV on
6-transfected cells, as virus binding is inhibited by >90% by a
MAb (10D5) that specifically recognizes
v
6 and inhibits binding
of its natural ligands; and (iii) consistent with the above
observations, infection of the
6-transfected cells by FMDV is also
inhibited by >99% by the same antibody (10D5). In addition, an
RGD-containing peptide with its sequence derived from the GH loop of
type O FMDV inhibits virus attachment and infection of the
6-transfected cells.
SW480 cells express two other RGD-dependent integrins, namely,
5
1
and
v
5. Ligation and/or cross-linking of an integrin at the cell
surface by natural protein ligands, small ligand-mimetic peptides, or
anti-integrin antibodies has been shown to modulate the functions of
other species of integrins (the target integrin) expressed on the same
cell. This process is dependent on intracellular signaling and has been
termed integrin cross talk (7). In some cases, the effects
of cross talk are to stimulate the functions of the target integrin
(40, 42). In interpreting our data, it is therefore
important to consider the possibility that ligation of
v
6 by a
multivalent RGD ligand, such as FMDV, could result in the transient
activation of other RGD-dependent integrins expressed on SW480 cells.
However, the failure of functional blocking antibodies to either
5
1 or
v
5 to inhibit infection by FMDV makes this scenario
unlikely. Similarly, it may also be possible that a low level of virus
binding to either
5
1 or
v
5 could be sufficient to
cross-link these integrins and trigger integrin cross talk pathways
that result in activation of
v
6 in order for
v
6 to function
as a receptor for FMDV. As we found that FMDV did not appear to inhibit
binding of functional blocking antibodies to either
5
1 or
v
5 (Fig. 4), implying that virus was not able to bind to these
integrins, this scenario would also appear to be unlikely. Therefore,
our data show that, under the assay conditions used in this study,
neither
5
1 nor
v
5 appears to have a role in infection of
6-transfected SW480 cells by FMDV. However, the functions of
integrins, including their ligand binding or "activation state"
(17, 23, 35, 41), and the rates at which they are internalized (8) are regulated by several complex
mechanisms, which may differ depending on the cell type, the cellular
environment, and the state of differentiation of the cell. How these
mechanisms are controlled in vivo is at present unclear. Therefore, our
data cannot rule out the possibility that, on different cell types or
under different experimental conditions that affect the activation state of integrins,
5
1 and
v
5 could serve as receptors for FMDV. Similarly, we cannot rule out the possibility that these integrin
species could serve as receptors for FMDV on cells derived from the
natural hosts.
Taken together, our data demonstrate that expression of
v
6 on
SW480 cells is required for infection by non-heparin binding strains of
FMDV and that this species of integrin appears to be the sole
representative of the RGD-binding integrins expressed on these cells
that functions as a receptor for FMDV. However, our data cannot rule
out the possibility that an as-yet-unidentified coreceptor(s) may be
required for a post-receptor binding event that is necessary for virus internalization.
Expression of
v
6 has been shown to enhance a lytic infection of
SW480 cells mediated by another picornavirus, coxsackievirus B1
(3). Since, this virus lacks an RGD motif on its surface and
binds to alternative receptors on SW480 cells, the role of integrin
v
6 in the infection process is at present unclear (3). The same uncertainty does not apply to FMDV, since we have shown that
v
6 is essential for binding and infection of SW480 cells. Across
the FMDV serotypes, the majority of viruses have either a leucine
(e.g., C-S8c1) or methionine (e.g., SAT-3) residue immediately following the RGD motif (RGD+1), and a leucine residue is highly conserved at the RGD+4 position (31). Leucine residues at
these positions have been shown to be important for receptor
recognition by FMDV, as mutations at these sites dramatically reduced
the abilities of peptides derived from the RGD-containing loop of FMDV
C-S8c1 to inhibit infection of BHK cells by that strain of virus
(31). The similarity between the residues following the RGD
motif of FMDV and those of LAP-1 and the observation that the
pentapeptide DLXXL can inhibit the interaction between
v
6 and
fibronectin suggest that conservation of the leucine residues located
at the RGD+1 and RGD+4 positions in FMDV may be driven by the
requirement for virus binding to its integrin receptors,
v
6 and
v
3.
v
3 is a multifunctional receptor that binds a broad
range of RGD-containing ligands (23). Consistent with this
role, ligand binding to
v
3 has been shown to tolerate several different amino acids flanking the RGD, including those at the RGD+1
and RGD+4 positions (20). By contrast,
v
6 binds to
relatively few ligands and serves as a high-affinity receptor for LAP-1
(36). Thus, if conservation of the GH loop leucine residues
in FMDV is driven by integrin binding, then it follows that
v
6
rather than
v
3 would be more likely to influence this process.
Interestingly, the extracellular matrix protein tenascin, which is also
a ligand for
v
6, has a methionine residue immediately following
its RGD, which is the second most common amino acid seen at this site
in FMDV.
Prior to this study,
v
3 was the only member of the integrin
family that had been shown to act as a receptor for FMDV
(6), but that integrin has limited expression on epithelial
cells and cells of lymphoid origin (15, 33, 47), and it is
these cell types in which FMDV is likely to reside during the initial
phase of infection. By contrast,
v
6 is expressed exclusively on
epithelial cells, including sites where initial virus replication is
believed to occur, making this integrin a more likely candidate as the receptor used by FMDV during the initial phase of infection in an animal.
